State-by-state fixes for health care, such as ColoradoCare, should serve as a cautionary tale. Fixing health care should be done at the national level.
Several states, pessimistic of a viable federal fix, have tried to craft at least stopgap solutions, mostly around access to care and, to a lesser extent, around cost and quality of care. None have succeeded. It's likely that Colorado's effort, on the ballot next week, is headed in the same direction.
